What Are Some Signs of a Gambling Addiction?

Struggling with a gambling addiction may seem confusing at first since this impulse is more than just wanting to play slots on a weekend or feeling annoyed when you lose money. A list compiled by the American Psychiatric Association highlights the common behaviors people exhibit when they have a gambling addiction. Some of these include:

  • Gambling money in order to forget bad feelings, anxiety, or guilt
  • Continually going back to casinos in order to “win back” your losses
  • Immediately turning to gambling when you are overwhelmed emotionally
  • Noticing intense feelings of restlessness when trying to quit
  • Ignoring relationships and jobs in order to gamble
  • Lying to others about how much you spend

Learning more about these hidden signs and how to identify them can give you clues about when to seek treatment.

We Focus on Respectful Care

No matter where you are in your gambling addiction, our professionals can meet you and assess what you need. Our two-hour-long assessment is a way to gauge what treatments may work best. We are available to meet with you over a video call or in person at our office in Montesano.

What is Gambling Addiction Treatment Like?

After seeking help for gambling, you will likely start to understand the underlying conditions causing this issue. Our caring and professional counselors will walk you through any additional programs or services that can help you. Although there are no FDA-approved medications for gambling addiction, we are able to find other treatments and prescriptions in some cases.

What We Offer for Treatments

Once we complete your initial assessment, you can choose from a variety of counseling types:

Individual Counseling
